Abstract
The cardiac mapping probe has a soft lead body with a distal end portion containing a pliable, moldable and formable core rod therein. The rod is received within a tubular sheath of the lead body which also includes four insulated wire conductors within the sheath. A head is formed at the distal end of the sheath and has a pad with a flat surface on the underside thereof. Four electrodes are mounted on the flat surface and connected to the wire conductors. Such probe will facilitate placement of the pad flat surface against a section of a heart wall to be mapped and will hold that shape until reconfigured to another shape. Part of the configured, molded shape can provide a handle formation for facilitating gripping and manipulation of the mapping probe.
